I praise the pure consciousness. The consciousness that lords over and expands in all the four directions and is the master of energy. It is untouched by the polarities of the north and the south poles. The body is a bio-magnetic energy field subject to positive and negative polarities, good and bad, sorrow and joy. Consciousness sustains the dualities and expands beyond them. Consciousness is unborn, knows no death, eternal and immortal. Anyone who holds on to consciousness, as did Markandeya, Shiva protects that person from death by giving Yama - the lord of death - a kick.
The story refers to no ancient acrobatic fight between Yama and Lord Shiva, but the fact that if the individual mind tightly holds on to the eternal consciousness, the mind also becomes the eternal and everlasting and not subject to birth and death, creation and re-creation. I worship that Consciousness, says Tirumoolar. - Swahilya Shambhavi.
(Picture: Earth and water, clouds and sky - Consciousness is the Master of this cosmic whole.)
